User AIN
Description
User-defined name for this input to easily identify what's connected.
use as
Specifies whether to use this input as a analog temperature input, or a digital input.
•Temperature input - The input is used as a temperature sensor.
•Digital input - The input is used to trigger digital input functions.
Analog input
Class Specifies the sensor class to use in the system. •User-defined temperature input - Mostly used for any kind of sensor not listed below. •Coolant temperature sensor - Overrides the CLT input wire and uses this input as CLT instead. •Differential temperature - Differential temp sensor. •EGT external cold junction temp sensor - Normally, the EGT Ref Temp (cold junction temperature) is continuously measured and compensated for by a PCB temperature sensor thermally coupled to the CMC connectors EGT pins, if this sensor class is used (and calibrated), it USES the EGT Ref Temp INSTEAD of the internal temp. •intake temperature sensor - Overrides the IAT input wire and uses this input as IAT instead. •engine compartment temperature sensor - Mostly used on Porsche vehicles, when there is a engine compartment temperature sensor mounted. •Engine oil temperature - Used on some OEM CAN system to display custom oil temperature in instrument cluster, or just used as a regular temperature sensor. If you have wired an oil temperature sensor to this input, select this. •fuel level 1 - Must be calibrated in the 0-100 % range. Used on some OEM CAN system to display fuel level in instrument cluster. •fuel level 2 - Must be calibrated in the 0-100 % range. Used on some OEM CAN system to display fuel level in instrument cluster. •fuel TEMP - Must be calibrated in deg C. •Gear position sensor - 0-5V sensor to indicate the actual gear position on sequential gearboxes. •Multi position switch 1/2/3. •switch decoder 1/2 - Switch decoder. •Tune selector - Can be used as any X or Y axis, or even as the 4D axle in any table to select different "tunes" in the whole system. •Transmission temperature - Transmission temp sensor.
Sensor Specifies the sensor calibration on the actual input channel. Select a predefined sensor from the list, or select the User-defined sensor option to create your own calibration table.
input settings
Filter The amount of filtering to be added to the input. Higher number = more filter --> Smoother signal.
resolution Specifies the sensor resolution on the selected input. •1 (-32768 to +32767) - Values between -32768 and + 32767 can be used on the table (no decimals). •0.1 (-3276.8 to +3276.7) - Values between -3276.8 and + 3276.7 can be used on the table (one decimal). •0.01 (-327.68 to +327.67) - Values between -327.68 and + 327.67 can be used on the table (two decimals). •0.001 (-32.768 to +32.767) - Values between -32.768 and + 32.767 can be used on the table (three decimals). Note: When changing the resolution, any table value will be rescaled and changed accordingly and table min/max values will be used as stated above.
offset adjustment Some sensors require a voltage offset. This may be due to atmospheric changes or unforeseen external changes.
Error detection
error detection Whether to use error detection on the selection analog input channel or not. Default Disabled. •disabled - No error detection. •fail-safe value - Outputs a specified value when the system detects a failed sensor, based on user defined below/above thresholds. •set error code - Set an error code for the selected analog input channel. •fail-safe + set error code - Outputs a specified value when the system detects a failed sensor, based on user defined below/above thresholds and sets an error code.
Error below voltage Specifies the minimum voltage threshold before trigger error detection (any voltage below this value, will trigger the error detection).
Error above voltage Specifies the maximum voltage threshold before trigger error detection (any voltage above this value, will trigger the error detection).
Fail safe output value Specifies the sensor output value to be used when an error has been detected on the input voltage, according to the min (below) and max(above) settings.

Digital input settings
Active level Specifies whether function is active when voltage goes from high to low (falling edge) or low to high (rising edge).
Function Specifies the digital input function to trigger when the input gets active.
Function 2 Specifies the digital input function to trigger as function 2 when using the below latch function.
latch Adds a latching feature of the digital input, with possibility to trigger a secondary digital function. •None (active while the input is active) •Push: on, Push: off •Push: on, long Push: off •Push: on, long Push: function 2 on, push: both off
